Israel continued colonial logic rather than repairing its victims
Evidence
Except if Hitler had been inspired by settler colonialism in North Americaâand he clearly wasâthen this was anything but reparations. It was a continuation of the colonial logic, but with broken and traumatized people let loose on a people even less powerful than themselves. Palestinians, under this arrangement, became, as the anti-colonial scholar Edward Said put it, âthe victims of the victims,â or, in the words of the scholar Joseph Massad, âthe new Jews.â â Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 980
Categorization
- XREF: The âvictims of the victimsâ framing connects to the bookâs core doubling thesis â the Mirror World as victim-perpetrator inversion, echoing the personal doubling device.
- QUESTION: The claim that Hitler was âclearlyâ inspired by North American settler colonialism deserves deeper sourcing â how established is that causal link and what evidence does Klein rest it on?
